The following conclusion of the report, however, lays down some pronciples: OENEBRAL AFTLICATION. ~ A carcful reading of the statutes of May 3, 1703, and April 21, 1806, leaves no robm fur doutt that It was Io tho power ofthe United Btates to rescrve for its military purposcs any portion of the public domaln ns might secin necessary or convenlent, ‘That there was o reservation and nyrronrhllcn of Jand for tov- crument uses now clatmed by the beirs of Beau- blen tbere can be no doubt, and that It was oc- cupled by troops of the United States in 1804, and that they continued in posscasion, with some brlef Intérvals, and neyer releasing poss slou at auy time for many ycars, at leastns Tate us 18, when the Sccretary of War directed the salo of portfuns of the reservation. ‘This sccupation belng an appropristion author- Ized by law, it follows that Leaublen and ait other persons on the land. were there attns sufferancy and under the furisdiction and per- migmion of the United Btates, and as a conso- queace cleurly vould acquire no rizbts of scttle- went or premption adverse to the Governwent, or fn uny manner prejudics the United States 4 10 tho mauuer 1o which the lauds should bo dlsposed of atter reservation should become uso- less for ita purposcs.
